EL Barco Mexican Restauran — Restaurant in Columbus

Had dinner at this new restaurant last night overall experience was very good. The place is beautiful renovation incredible. The floor is amazing. Service was great. Our waitress was super sweet. Margaritas were good. We had the fresh guacamole, which was outstanding, the oyster, shrimp, and scallop appetizer, which was delicious. I enjoyed the seafood enchiladas, which were great. My only complain about this place that the lighting is way too bright. We ask if they could dim the lights, but they said they were not on a dimmer so my suggestion to the owner is to dim the lights. The place is way too bright especially for how gorgeous it is. You need better ambience but we will definitely be back. Congratulations! And thank...

Anxious to try this new restaurant in the neighborhood, I took my son last night to treat him to dinner. The place looked clean and inviting with several large groups seated at large tables. We were seated in a booth by a lovely, welcoming hostess and salsa and chips were quickly provided. THE MUSIC WAS DEAFENING. We couldn't even hear one another speak across the table! I got up and left within 5 minutes of being seated! What a disappointment! How ANYONE could tolerate that VERY LOUD music is a puzzlement to me. Perhaps it's only a "Saturday night thing" but I have no desire to even TRY again when there are other Mexican restaurants...

This is the new location of el Barco, for us is a must every time we travel to Columbus, the seafood is cooked like in Mexico, real and traditional flavors, like home. When we arrived they seated us right away, it was a Friday afternoon, but after that it took like 15 min until someone came to our table to ask for drinks, the place was empty. After that everything went ok, the food as always was delicious, to the exception of the breaded fish fillet, it was dry as it can be. Don’t order it, try instead the shrimp cocktail or the coconut as the picture, they are great. Congratulations on the...
